Adani New Industries Ltd. (ANIL) announced the successful commissioning of India’s first off-grid five MW green hydrogen pilot plant in Kutch, Gujarat. The initiative marks a major milestone in the country’s shift toward a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.
100% Solar-Powered and Battery-Integrated
The state-of-the-art facility operates entirely off-grid, powered exclusively by solar energy and supported by a battery energy storage system (BESS). The integration allows the plant to maintain stable operations while being fully independent of conventional power sources. According to the company, this model introduces a new paradigm in decentralized, renewable-powered hydrogen production.
Smart, Responsive Technology for Real-World Demands
At the heart of the plant is a fully automated, closed-loop electrolyser system that dynamically adapts to real-time solar input. This capability ensures operational flexibility, making it especially effective in managing the inherent variability of solar power. The system is engineered for efficiency, safety, and optimal performance—essential qualities for reliable green hydrogen production.
Driving Innovation and Energy Independence
The pilot reinforces the Adani Group’s strong commitment to innovation, sustainability, and its leadership in the green hydrogen space. The project aligns with the goals of India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission, which seeks to cut down on energy imports, promote self-reliance (Atmanirbhar Bharat), and drive decarbonization in high-emission sectors.
Laying the Groundwork for a Green Hydrogen Hub
The Kutch pilot plant also serves as a proof of concept for Adani’s upcoming Green Hydrogen Hub in Mundra, Gujarat. This larger-scale project is set to play a key role in decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors such as fertilisers, refining, and heavy transport—sectors that are vital to India’s economy and pivotal in achieving global net-zero targets.
Setting a National Benchmark
By launching India’s first off-grid green hydrogen facility, Adani New Industries sets a benchmark for future renewable-powered industrial applications. As reported by msn.com, the pilot not only showcases technical excellence but also demonstrates the commercial viability of clean hydrogen at scale—paving the way for broader adoption across energy-intensive industries.
